'The War Z' Adds New Content, Celebrates Halloween

A session-based, massively multiplayer online game, Infestation: Survivor is inspired by all things zombie and is set in a true post-apocalyptic, zombie-infested world where other players can prove to be a greater threat than the undead hordes that populate the land.

The War Z is an online, multiplayer, survival-simulation game set in an open world infested with zombies. Players are thrust into this post-apocalyptic world five-years after a viral outbreak that ravaged the human population and left, in its wake, a nightmare of epic proportion.

The game is available for unrestricted access on October 31, 2012 and, to celebrate, developer Hammerpoint Interactive is introducing brand new content that will feature the following:

New Characters – new playable characters

New Zombies – new zombie models

New Playable Area – entirely new section of game world opened up, including new large cities – effectively doubling the current map size

Special Themed Items – players will have access to special, Halloween-themed items in the game marketplace

“The last couple of weeks of Alpha, since we began allowing public access, have been incredible,” said Sergey Titov, executive producer for The War Z. “We’re extremely happy with the way things are going and the players seem to understand the hurdles of the game being in Alpha and have been really supportive. We will continue to listen to the feedback from our community and use it to add the features and content that will match their expectations and help us to make this game the best it can be.”

Additionally, to commemorate this milestone, Hammerpoint will be reintroducing the “Legend” package for a limited time. Through Sunday, November 4, 2012, the Legend package, which was previously sold out, will be available and will include the following:
